    How much does it cost to activate Windows?

    It doesn't cost anything. When you buy your Windows, you get an activation key. So, the cost would just be the cost of the OS.

    You need a product activation code which you can find included with your installation CD. If it is a pirated version, you can feel free to ignore the warning, but it will not go away.

    There should be an app called "Windows Update" to click on. Let it check for updates: Windows 10 should pop up.

    First, make a bootable USB using someone's computer. Then run your new PC and go to bios menu by clicking del of f10 or search for how to open the bios menu in (your laptop brand). Then find boot options in the bios menu. Reorder boot order. Select USB as 1st boot device. Now reboot your laptop. Now you will see windows installation menu. Install Windows 7. After the install, you will need to activate it.
